There are few things better for snacking than fried food. It’s comforting, crunchy, and amazing when combined with some kind of a dip. But before you opt for classics like mozzarella sticks or chicken fingers, we suggest you try something new and equally satisfying. Cheesy potato balls from this YouTube chef are super easy to make and so delicious that they will probably become your new favorite snack. Here is how to make them.

- Pinch of salt
Additional

Instructions
1. Peel and wash potatoes. Slice them into quarters and boil until tender.
2. Drain the potatoes and put them in a bowl. Mash them using a masher, or a fork, then add five tablespoons of all-purpose flour and a teaspoon of salt. Mix until you get a dough-like consistency.
3. Whisk two eggs in a separate bowl. Add a pinch of salt, milk, and 1 cup all-purpose flour and give it a thorough mix until all ingredients are combined into a batter.
4. Form the potato dough into small balls. During the process, place a small chunk of mozzarella cheese inside each ball.
